Mary Berry

Mary Berry is a British food writer and television presenter.
She has published over 75 cookery books, including the bestselling book, Baking Bible.
She has hosted several television series for the BBC and Thames television and occasionally contributes to Women’s Hour and Saturday Kitchen.
She has become a national treasure since becoming a judge on the Great British Bake Off which originally was aired on BBC 2 becoming the most popular programme on that channel and was then moved to BBC 1 for its fifth series. The show has been credited with increasing the interests in baking and many of the winners have gone on to start careers in bakery. Since the announcement that The Bake Off would be leaving the BBC and moving to Channel 4, Mary announced that she would not be following it onto channel 4 and would be leaving the show.
